At right, plates of fastnachts are set out on a table at Columbia Cottage Tuesday morning. The fastnachts and coffee event was open to the public and designed as a way to thank the Hanover community, Managing Director Karen Mackley said.

Mackley said Columbia officials ordered more than 20 dozen fastnachts from a local church.
